Is the pulmonary trunk oxygen rich or oxygen poor?
Oxygen poor. It carries oxygen poor blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated.
Where does oxygen poor blood first enter the heart?
somewhere
What pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body?
I think you meant "through the body". if that is so: the heart does, it pumps oxygen poor blood to your lungs. then the blood absorbs the oxygen with the help of diffusion. this is like smoke: smoke doesn't stay together, it goes to places where no smoke is. the same counts for your blood, there is no oxygen in it so the oxygen goes into your veins. then the heart pumps it around the body until the oxygen is used up. the process will start over again.Your heart.
What does oxygen and carbon dioxide do in the body?
moves out oxygen and removing in carbon dixode oxygen is necessary for life.without it no one can imagine of life. we get oxygen from atmosphere into the lungs from where it reaches to the every cell of the body. oxygeneted blood is purify blood, whereas deoxygeneted blood is impure blood. carbondioxide is necessary for plants etc. when we take breath the oxygen come in from the atmosphere to lungs and carbondioxide go out from the lungs into the atmosphere.
Where do gases exchange?
The pathway of the circulatory system varies based on different species. The mammalian cardiovascular system begins with the pulmonary circuit. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries. As the blood flows through capillary beds in the lungs, it adds oxygen and subtracts carbon dioxide. Oxygen-rich blood comes from the lungs via the pulmonary veins to the left atrium of the heart. Next the oxygen-rich blood flows into the left ventricle as the ventricle opens and the atrium closes. The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood out of the body tissues through the systemic circuit. Blood leaves the left ventricle through the aorta, which passes blood to arteries leading throughout the body. The first branches from the aorta are the coronary arteries which provide blood that the heart muscle needs. Then come branches leading to capillary beds in the forelimbs. The aorta continues, supplying oxygen-rich blood to arteries leading to arterioles and capillary beds in the abdominal organs and legs. Inside the capillaries, oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse along their concentration gradients with oxygen being moved from the blood to the tissues. Carbon dioxide produced by cellular respiration diffuses into the bloodstream. Capillaries join again, forming venules, which give blood to veins. Oxygen-poor blood from the head, neck, and forelimbs is guided into a large vein called the anterior vena cava. Another large vein called the posterior vena cava drains blood from the chest and back legs. The two venae cavae empty their blood into the right atrium and the oxygen-poor blood flows into the right ventricle.
Blood that is oxygen poor?
Venous blood is oxygen poor (in comparison with arterial blood).
What color is oxygen-poor blood?
Oxygen-poor blood is dark red; oxygen-rich blood is bright red.
What does peripheral vein carry to the extremities oxygen rich or oxygen poor blood?
Oxygen poor blood
Does the pulmonary artery in adults carry oxygen rich blood or oxygen poor blood?
poor
Do we have oxygen poor blood in your lungs?
no you have oxygen high blood.
Where does an artery carry oxygen poor blood?
The pulmonary artery carries oxygen poor blood and the pulmonary vein carries oxygen rich blood.
Why is it important for your heart to separate oxygen rich blood from oxygen poor blood?
If the oxygen-rich blood and the oxygen poor blood mix the amount of oxygen becomes diluted. The cells and tissues need more oxygen than they will get.
Which heart chambers have oxygen-poor blood?
The right chambers have oxygen poor blood. The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body circulation, and the right ventricle pumps it to the lungs.
Why is it important for your heart to keep oxygen rich blood separate from oxygen-poor blood?
If the oxygen-rich blood and the oxygen poor blood mix the amount of oxygen becomes diluted. The cells and tissues need more oxygen than they will get.

Is the blood rich in oxygen or poor in oxygen when it enters the left ventricle?
Blood entering the left ventricle is rich in oxygen. In contrast, oxygen-poor blood enters the right ventricle.
Does anterior and posterior interventricular arteries have oxygen-poor or oxygen-rich blood?
oxygen poor
